I was excited like every other person was ,I couldn’t wait to meet new friends and know this big city of Mombasa. My parents finally left for home and there I was, life had to start. I could see student in very funny attires, others almost naked, wow! Is this the freedom I had heard was in University?

The notion that in Mombasa people walk half naked due to hot climate, I was now getting a bit scared. No one to wake me up to attend classes anymore unlike high school. This means I had a choice to make when it comes to class attendance. As soon as classes began I realized things were going to be different.

It is survival for the fastest rather than the famous say 'survival for the fittest.' Boys running after me and that angered me. An environment with No teacher to restrict you from anything you want to do. Life was wonderful, and risky at the same time.

I had never seen teenagers smoke 'Weed' before my eyes but this time they are doing it whenever they wish.

 On weekends my room mates would go for parties and I’m left alone, that is where the temptation of joining companies for peer pressure comes in, but having gone for a short design course after my form four, I decided to find a side hustle and I got a sewing machine and started working with it.

Through this I got hooked up to some design agencies until I started working with great       
designers and models around Mombasa. This  made me busy at the times I am not in class and it finally became part of me. Most people came to know of my work and have since trusted me to be their designer and tailor.

In campus, friends that make you happy are very important. Such friends bring happiness in our lives and in times of problems they share the bad times with us too, I used to hear of heartbreaks but this time I’m seeing them in real life, in my previous article of toxic relationships I discussed how to avoid toxic relationships especially among campus students.

Basically life in campus to me has been about exploring what I can do and balancing studies at the same time. If you are around Mombasa and want any design and tailoring services you can contact my number 0712290492.It is my pleasure to serve you as we strive through campus life.
